How do I open account. I must win this for my Christmas.

I am not surprise Wema came through for you, they have actually been doing the most lately, slowly but surely becoming my no1 go to bank in Nigeria.

I have an update for this post.

So, Wema Bank finally got back to me this Saturday evening. They says they'd fixed the issue with my card and apologized for the inconveniences. Although it took almost five days to get a response from them, I'm glad they actually replied with a solution instead of the usual gaslighting you typically get from Nigerian banks. Yes, it's working now!! The monthly limit is $500, but I don't mind. Who even get thousands of dollars to spend these days😄? So, yes, Wema Bank's naira Mastercard works!


So, the news broke about three weeks ago that Wema Bank has brought back the naira Visa and Mastercard. It was the best news I've heard in a year as I look forward to a hassle-free transactions, especially to pay for my website's SEO support.

So, I waited a week to see if other banks will follow suit. I was pretty sure Wema is just the first, and that offer banks like First Bank and Zenith (where I already have accounts) will make their own announcements in the following week. Wrong.

Other banks will probably join Wema in this aspect, but I couldn't wait anymore. So, I headed into a Wema Bank branch last week Wednesday and opened a savings account. I asked about the Mastercard availability before even filling the account opening form. They assured me the thing is real. Me equals very happy.

I returned to the bank on Tuesday this week to get the card. Me equals happiness again the moment I was handed the purple card with Mastercard's logo at the bottom right and my name on the left. Will it work for online transactions? Wilco, they assured me.

Back home, it was time to experience something I've missed since Buhari's administration. I waited till the next day, though. My first attempt with my shiny newly acquired Mastercard was to pay for a diib subscription to support my website. My heart skipped a beat when the otp landed in my phone. Sadly, the transaction ended with: "your card has been declined."

Note: I have more than enough balance in my account. My heart sank. It just reminded me that most of these naira MasterCards were just in name and not function even before the ban. For example, I had FCMB and Ecobank Mastercards that never worked. Only my First Bank Mastercard worked like a charm back then.

Well, I've emailed Wema Bank requesting an explanation. That was yesterday; still awaiting their reply.

I am sure you will get a positive response. I have someone who recently used the master. Their limit is $500.

Don't mind these ones, they have job security in a private organization for well over 7 years getting salary increase and full salary during the pandemic and they are still complaining.

Jokerman:
Some govt parastatals still pay below 50k to BSC .....

98K is not bad for marketers

Some universities pay Lecturer II with master's a little above 100K

Nigerians and stupid entitlement mentality, during Covid-19 pandemic that you people didn't work and you were receiving complete salary you didn't complain then.

Exclusive: LAPO MFB staff reject 25% salary increase after 7 years of alleged stagnant pay, more

Members of staff of popular financial institution, LAPO Micro Finance Bank (MFB) have kicked against the bank management’s move to increase staff salaries by only 25% and 12.5% after 7 years of alleged stagnant pay.

Exclusive reports obtained by Kemi Filani reveals that the last time LAPO MFB’s staff‘s salaries were reviewed was in 2016, and their staff don’t allegedly get the annual (step) increment other organisations/institutions enjoy. “Our salaries have been stagnant since 2016″ after they reviewed it upwards by 15%. The management only reviews staff salaries as at will. It can take 10 or 7 years which is not supposed to be so.” A staff who pleaded anonymity told Kemi Filani.

Kemi Filani gathered that as at 2016, before the 15% review, graduate (BSC/HND) staff (CSOs) earned a net salary of seventy five thousand, seven hundred and fifty naira, eighty six kobo (N75,750.86K), and after the review, their net pay became ninety eight thousand, three hundred and fifty six naira, forty one kobo (N98,356.41K). While Branch Managers (BM) get same salary, but an extra eight thousand naira (N8,000) as duty allowances.




It was gathered that after seven years of stagnant pay, the bank management decided to increase staff salaries by 25% for Junior staff (Graduate CSO, BM, Auditors and AM) and 12.5% for senior staff (Zonal managers – ZM).

“We have had stagnant salaries for years with no one being able to complain. If you do, they will threaten to transfer you to another state, far away from your family. After we were able to complain, they decided to increase it by 25% for Junior staff and 12.5% for senior staff” another staff whispered to Kemi FIlani.

The staff continued, “We have told them that due to the current economic situation in the country, a 25% increase after 7 years wouldn’t make sense. A graduate working for over 10 years and up till now, my net pay is not up to 100K. I can not complain or renegotiate my pay, they only decide on when to review it, which isn’t a standard practice anywhere.”

Don't mind them they keep throwing all sort of dirt on the bank. This new attack now has a political tone attached to it, but we are not ready for that conversation now.by

But it was rumoured that Buhari bought Skye bank ,it is now clear that (Tinubu) Lagos state govt.owns Polaris bank

Fani Kayode, now a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), had in a tweet vowed to remain in the PDP for heaven's sake.

He had claimed that defecting from the PDP to join the APC will send him to hell.

Ironically, in line with Fani-Kayode's past comments, one would be tempted to describe him as a former minster who will be 'heading to hell' owing to how quickly he dumped the PDP for the APC barely two years after.

The old tweet, which was a response to the Nigerian Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo's appeal for PDP leaders to join the APC before they die, spawned the failed promise by Fani-Kayode.

"PDP leaders should join APC before they die"- @ProfOsinbajo

Death comes to us all, incuding Vice Presidents and Presidents. It is only a matter of time.

One thing is clear though, I would rather stay in @OfficialPDPNig and go to heaven than join @OfficialAPCNg and go to hell.
